25 Tips for Renewable Energy Businesses

Coming soon is another free report from 2GreenEnergy, tentatively called 25 Tips for Renewable Energy Businesses. As I began to respond to readers who had called or written in to ask my perspective on business ideas, I realized I was drawing on my experiences as a business consultant – 800+ projects over 25+ years. Trust me, that’s a lot of PowerPoint, crowded conference rooms, trying to remember which suit you wore last time you met with client x, and consolidating air travel to ensure upgrades on the way there and back.

As readers may be aware, I spent the bulk of my career working to increase sales revenues in companies with business-to-business products and services. Most of my work was for the Fortune 100: the IBMs, AT&Ts, and Hewlett-Packards of the world – yet a great deal of it was for smaller companies – even a few dozen venture-capitalized start-ups.

In any case, all this gave me the opportunity to observe real-world business processes, and to gain an understanding of what works – and what doesn’t – in business. I believe, looking back on those days, that some of my experiences will be valuable to those wishing to expand businesses in the renewables sector, and so I offer these as “tips.” Coming soon.
